Hi,

I have configured PPP as per the guidelines and it is working a treat, but as I am running sendmail on my PPP gateway box I keep getting the error:

Jun 13 08:57:48 freebsd sendmail[4414]: gethostbyaddr(127.1.1.1) failed: 1

In my ppp.conf I have the following:

set ifaddr 127.1.1.1/0 127.2.2.2/0 255.255.255.0
add 0 0 127.2.2.2                      # Add a (sticky) default route

How do I stop the sendmail error?

Regards,

Robert
